Climate Change Education Challenged. 
A petition has been submitted to the Mesa County (Colorado) School Board to prohibit "the teaching of man-made climate change theory as scientific fact in the students' curriculum." The petition, which has 700 signatures, was circulated by a movement called Balanced Education for All,
http://balanced-ed.org/
a group denying the reality of and human role in climate change, which also submitted a petition to "create and enforce a policy that prohibits teachers from applying their political views to the teaching and grading of students." School Board members accepted the petition but took no action. The petition is part of a larger campaign by the Independent Women's Forum,
http://www.iwf.org/
a non-profit based in Washington, DC, "challenging public schools to provide balanced education on the issue of global warming."  The group is promoting a documentary, Not Evil, Just Wrong,

that claims to "confront erroneous claims of environmental extremists," and offers an allegedly "compelling and scientifically accurate film about the true relationship between humans and the environment."
